SPOTLIGHT: AHC CHAMPION MATTHEW (NC, USA)

(As shared by Matthew’s dad, Cure AHC President Jeff Wuchich) Renee & I welcomed Matthew into the world July, 2007. It was a whirlwind from the start. He landed in the NICU hours after birth with abdominal issues that soon resolved, but doctors thought in the meantime he had a seizure. Then came a 10 day ordeal of medically induced coma, a plethora of tests, and no conclusions. Doctors chalked it up as a “fluke” and sent us home to love on our newborn son.

Over the next 6 months Matthew would spend many days in the hospital, first with nystagmus at 2 months (again thought of as seizure, with seizure meds prescribed), then dystonia at 4 months . Then the paralysis came at 6 months. It would start in one arm and quickly overtake his entire body. He would remain like that (save 15 minutes or so after awakening) for days. It was heartbreaking. The cycle would repeat every 2 weeks or so. We spent the next 12 months searching for answers, sending video after video to neurologists around the world. Fortunately in North Carolina children who have difficulty like Matthew become eligible for developmental services. He began to receive PT, OT, & Developmental Therapy. He continues to receive these services (and speech to boot) in school to this day. (Read more about Matthew’s story here)

Proceeds will help fund ongoing research projects at Duke University and other centers around the world. See you there!
